Case Study: Fuller Theological Seminary achieves seamless, cross‑platform endpoint protection with Code42 CrashPlan

Seminary replaces unwieldy system with CrashPlan’s light-touch solution

Fuller Theological Seminary (FTS), a multidenominational institution with about 500 faculty and administrative devices across nine campuses and mixed Mac/PC environments, needed a reliable, easy-to-manage backup solution for documents, research, databases and presentations. After outgrowing Retrospect and enduring a failing PresSTORE rollout that required intensive babysitting, lacked notifications and self-restore, and was difficult to configure, IT required cross-platform protection that was configurable, cost-effective and provided real-time visibility.

FTS deployed CrashPlan’s on-site private-cloud solution, rolling clients out with Windows Group Policy and Munki for Macs; setup and granular filtering were straightforward and the admin console provided clear notifications and control. The result: fast, user-friendly self-restores (even recovering deleted files and data from stolen laptops), dramatically reduced admin time and storage costs, and renewed confidence and peace of mind for both IT and users.
